Lord Of Leveling Up: Transmigrated Into A Game-Chapter 260: Rules and Orders
Maxwell wasn’t even a tiny bit worried about the battle in ten days.
If it weren’t for them blocking him, most likely Baldur would be currently lying on the ground like a dead dog.
But...
Everyone thought Maxwell wasn’t an opponent for Baldur.
This gave Maxwell a helpless feeling.
Adam also urged Maxwell to level up to level 6 King rank, as this was the only way he would have enough strength to fight Baldur.
Maxwell had no other choice...
And could only do what they suggested.
That night...
Maxwell left the group and headed towards the Forbidden Grounds.
He once again asked Adam to take care of Brenda and the others.
Brenda was reluctant to let Maxwell go, even to the point of hugging his thigh and pleading with him to take her with him. Her large eyes sparkling with tears was capable of melting the hearts of any beholder, but Maxwell still didn’t bring her in the end.
Compared to the Forbidden Grounds, the city was a bit safer.
Maxwell was originally planning on going alone but John wanted to follow along no matter what. In the end, Maxwell couldn’t beat him in an argument and could only reluctantly allow him to tag along. But Maxwell did make him promise beforehand that the moment they stepped into the Forbidden Grounds, John had to listen to his commands.
John didn’t even think before agreeing to it, which made Maxwell a bit suspicious.
James wanted to know how Maxwell managed to survive inside the Forbidden Grounds, and how he managed to make so many level ups so quickly. Every small level in the King rank was extremely hard to break into the next one, so how could there be further level-ups in just ten days?
If it were that easy, then the whole street would be filled with King rank experts.
There was also another reason...
He had lost the bet with Adam, so as long as Maxwell didn’t leave the area around the Capital City, he had to secretly protect Maxwell. It was no exception when it came to the Forbidden Grounds that were close by.
Night time.
Two human figures were shuttling through at high speeds towards the pit where millions of devil race remnant souls resided.
———–
The Capital City.
Eastern city, the Internal Minister Antony Hernandez’s manor.
Anthony’s brows were locked together and his fists clenched. He was in an extremely bad mood right now. "Flowing Sand is an organisation I’ve established for many years, yet who knew they were so useless. They didn’t even reach their target yet and were already killed. The only person to return had their cultivation crippled and died right after sending me a message. What kind of background does this kid have? Who are the people protecting him?"
He was extremely angry.
Flowing Sand was his trump card, an organisation used for assassinations. Who knew they would be so useless today?
They were all King rank experts. Seven of them died in a single night, and the eighth one died just before dawn the next day. This was considered a huge shame to Antony. What made him the most annoyed was the message relayed to him.
He was the Internal Affairs Supervisor of the Evans Kingdom. His daughter was the current king’s most favourite concubine, so what kind of person would dare to give him such a warning?
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became.
Immediately after...
Anthony looked at the inky dark night and said: "Request that Daniel come out of seclusion and take care of that kid. If that kid isn’t taken care of, I cannot swallow down my anger!"
His advisor behind him was startled by this but immediately responded: "I obey."

Eastern city, in another area.
The Great Alliance’s main headquarters is in the Evans Kingdom. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
The eyes of , the General Manager of the auction house had become narrow slits. His chubby body was faintly shivering as he looked at the man in front of him. He held down the excitement inside him and said: "Are you sure it’s a young girl of the Fur-Tailed Race?"
"It’s definitely it!" responded that man.
This was a servant that Ray sent out, who was also the butler at Ray Manor, Sebastian.
When he heard that Ray had been killed, his heart ached in pain. He immediately ran off to the auction house to meet with Samuel.
Samuel asked again: "Have you seen her?"
Sebastian replied: "I have."
Samuel then asked: "Can you recognise her?"
"I can!" Sebastian replied.
Samuel smiled excitedly. The Fur-Tailed woman in his cage was the ultimate treasure for this time’s auction. The starting bid price will be 50 million and the ending price will definitely be over a hundred million, or even several hundreds of millions.
If another Fur-Tailed girl were here, then the starting price...
Samuel didn’t dare to think further as his smile looked like blooming flowers. He then muttered: "No matter what, that young Fur-Tailed girl has to be found. It might even be the Fur-Tailed race member that possesses the mysterious power..."
Thinking to this point, Sebastian’s eyes narrowed and a flash of chill was seen.
Sebastian’s body shivered, and he immediately lowered his head not daring to look at Samuel.
"Does anyone else know of this piece of news?"
"No, there’s no one else."
"Good, very good. You can go die now."
"Agghhh..."
A corpse fell down in its own pool of blood.
Samuel didn’t move while there was an extra dark figure next to him. Samuel coldly said: "I will give you three days to capture that young girl of the Fur-Tailed race. She is someone our Vice President wants so don’t mess it up."
"Understood!"
That dark figure disappeared from the spot.
Samuel’s mouth made a curve as he revealed a harmless-looking smile. "Fur-tailed girl, what kind of mysterious powers could you possess? Even our lord vice president is interested in you. Interesting, very interesting. Hahaha..."

After two hours of travelling...
Maxwell and John arrived at the entrance to the Forbidden Grounds.
Due to the restrictions of the array here...
Only those of the human race could freely enter and exit.
Maxwell once again reminded: "You must listen to my commands not run all over the place. Otherwise, neither of us will be leaving this place alive."
Inside the forbidden grounds, there were simply too many spectral monsters.
If one wasn’t careful and woke up a large group of them, then there would be no place for them to run to. And after killing a bunch of them with the Dragon Execution Array, Maxwell was able sense that there was a powerful presence deep underground somewhere.
If this presence was woken up, Maxwell could tell that if he had 10,000 extra lives, he still wouldn’t be able to leave this place in one piece.
John also knew the dangers of the Forbidden Grounds so he said: "Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly here."
"En!"
"Then, let us head in." Maxwell stepped into the array and his figure gradually entered the gloomy darkness. A few seconds later, those two appeared in the forbidden grounds. And just like last time, the spectres were still floating about in a sleeping state.
The only difference this time was that a large area of the ground was burnt black; as if thousands of lightning bolts had struck it.
John hid his startled expression and said: "There’s such a large empty space here... is this where you previously killed those deceased souls?"
Instead of answering, Maxwell was carefully walking forward and said: "Stay here and watch. Just leave everything here to me and remember not to run about."
Maxwell couldn’t really explain himself.
Even if he explained the whole process, John may not understand since this was technically experience based on video games.
John was a bit annoyed and said: "Kid, why are you like an old woman blabbering so much nonsense? I said I would listen to your commands so I will listen to you. I’m not going to blindly run around because I’m even more afraid of these forbidden grounds than you."
Maxwell was a bit embarrassed and apologised: "I’m sorry, I’m just a bit too nervous."
He was really scared as well.
If John made a wrong step, then his chances of levelling here would be messed up big time.
Suddenly...
Maxwell got near a spectre and woke it up. He then infused his fists with power and was able to kill it in just several moves.
John was startled as he muttered: "Damn, so it’s this easy?"
Immediately after...
He laughed out loud before shouting: "I want to give it a try too!"
He sped off and quickly arrived at the side of a spectre.
Maxwell became instantly dumbstruck.
’Did he just lose sight or what!’
At this time...
A large swath of nearby spectral souls woke up, and their red eyes started glaring at John and Maxwell.
